Tia McGraff - "Like I'm Forgiven" single from new album Diversity

Tia McGraff, Canada's acclaimed Adult/Alternative songstress, releases her first single off of her upcoming album on February 16, 2010.

Entitled "Like I'm Forgiven" (written by Tia McGraff/Scarlett Keys) the track will give listeners a taste of the exciting new album, 'Diversity,' that is set for release in Spring 2010 on Tia's own label, Bandana Records.

'Diversity' promises to deliver what Tia's fans have been waiting for: more of her signature, relatable material. It is also gearing up to be filled to the brim with refreshing collaborations.

McGraff's debut concert performance in support of the upcoming release, and the kickoff to her "Diversity" tour will be taking place at the Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts (88 Dalhousie Street, Brantford, ON) on February 26th at 8pm. Tia will be joined on stage by her full band, along with special guests from the 6 Nations, Sakoieta Widrick and Tewentahawiht Dawn Antone.

Commenting on the upcoming show, Tia admitted: "Stepping out onto the stage of the historic and beautiful Sanderson Centre has always been a dream of mine and now my time has finally come! I'm really looking forward to the 26th!"

About Tia McGraff:

Writing and recording since the young age of 19, Tia McGraff's uplifting, heart-warming songs have been garnering her strong fan exclaim from the beginning. As one devoted fan once said, "Tia's music makes your heart rest!"

The Port Dover, ON, Canada native first released two albums, on her label Bandana Records, and four music videos which were showcased on Country Music Television (CMT), before deciding to make the move to Nashville, TN. Soon after her arrival in Nashville, Tia met songwriter/producer Tommy Parham who became her partner in life and on stage.

The duo quickly became a musical force to be reckoned with and Tia and Tommy have become an indie pairing that is reaching out to the world with their love for each other and for their music.

Having released two successful albums that were supported by festivals and venues around the world (including the famous Bluebird Café), they've not only found touring success but also commercial success.

Their songs have been placed in a variety of movies and television spots. Most recently, "All Of Us," (Tia McGraff / Tommy Parham / Henry Priestman) was placed in an Australian TV commercial promoting multi- culturalism and Tia's version was featured in a video on World Youth Day in Sydney, and played in front of the Pope and over 500,000 spectators.

Tia McGraff's last album, 'Day In My Shoes', was nominated for Best Alt Country Recording of the Year at the 2008 Hamilton Music Awards and, as Randy Bachman (BTO and Guess Who) explained, "It's just a matter of time 'till that magic moment when everyone agrees its Tia's time".

The seasoned duo has been immersed in the world of country music in more ways than one. Writing, performing and producing, they have captured the attention and respect of artists, producers and industry insiders.
